FAQs

Can you cook vegan cheese from frozen? ›

Vegan cheese can indeed be frozen, although the process may have varying effects on its texture and taste, making it more suitable for cooking purposes rather than direct consumption after thawing.

Vegan Parmesan cheese can usually last 1-3 months after the 'best-before' date if unopened and stored properly. Once opened, it tends to retain its quality for about 1-2 weeks if stored in the refrigerator. Homemade varieties should be consumed within 1 week for optimal freshness.

Vegan Parmesan Cheese Ingredients:

The reason is because classic basil pesto contains pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano, which are both made from milk curdled in animal rennet. That means that most of the pesto sauces you see on supermarket shelves are not vegetarian.

Grated cheese can be added to dishes to cook straight from frozen.

The catch is that frozen cheese is really only good for cooking as it can get quite crumbly when it thaws out. If you try to slice a thawed brick of cheddar, for example, it'll likely just crumble apart. However, frozen cheese melts very nicely!

For frozen grated cheese, if using in cooking, it's possible to use straight from frozen or scatter the desired amount of grated cheese out onto a plate and defrost in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This will work perfectly well in sandwiches.
